From the towers of Notre-​­Dame and some of the higher rooftops, people watched through telescopes as invaders breached the outskirts of Paris on the night of March 29, 1814. Cossacks crouched round their campfires atop Montmartre, the sounds of their eerie music drifting down into the village below. They were toasting the death of the miller of the Moulin de la Galette, whose ravaged body was tied to one of the mill’s sails, or so went the rumor. Parisians had good cause to be terrified just then. Fearing the populace’s revolutionary potential as much as any foreign force, French officials decided against distributing arms en masse, even after troops failed to hold the enemy beyond the gates. This left the city’s defense to the twelve thousand members of the Paris National Guard, facing a force nearly ten times larger. Though the result would have been obvious to everyone going in, the spectacle was played out just the same. A British artist who lived in Paris, Thomas Underwood, recalled passing that bright spring day among “fashion- able loungers of both sexes” at a popular café on the boulevard des Italiens, “sitting, as usual, on the chairs placed there and appearing almost uninter- ested spectators of the number of wounded French and prisoners of the allies 9780735222601_Invisible_TX.indd xvi 8/16/18 1:02 AM 9780735222601_Invisible_TX.indd xvii 8/16/18 1:02 AM xviii • INTRODUCTION which were brought in.” Each side suffered roughly nine thousand casualties, making this the deadliest battle of 1814. Napoleon’s subjects wouldn’t soon forget his failure to appear in the capital alongside his generals. After a year and a half of fighting across much of Eu- rope, an allied coalition led by Britain, Austria, Prussia, and Russia had driven French soldiers out of German territory and crossed into France. Instead of falling back to Paris, the obvious target, Napoleon had opted to dig in by the Aube River about a hundred miles east of the city, thinking he could cleave the attacking forces in two and defeat each half in succession. This had freed other allied troops to reach Paris largely unchecked. Allied and French representatives had been trying to arrange Napoleon’s surrender for months. Joseph Bonaparte warned his brother that people would turn against him as soon as they realized he preferred prolonging war to mak- ing “even a disadvantageous peace.” But aside from a few brief moments of armistice, Napoleon had kept fighting, forever seeking the one dramatic vic- tory that would allow him to negotiate from a position of strength. Having risen from artillery officer to general to First Consul to Emperor of the French on the promise of constant and glorious triumph, he feared he would be over- thrown at the first sign that he was even considering bending to an opponent’s demands. Napoleon had ridden for Paris as soon as he realized his mistake, switching out his exhausted horses for fresh ones borrowed along the way at intervals. But by the time he reached a posthouse just south of the city, around midnight on March 30, he was too late; a column of French cavalry had already arrived with news of the capitulation signed hours earlier by representatives of his trusted general and confidant, Marshal Marmont.

Omaggio ad Anton Corbijn nell'ambito della prima edizione di Fo.To. Fotografi a Torino, che si svolge dal 3 maggio al 29 luglio 2018. Una retrospettiva completa dedicata al fotografo e regista olandese che ha “inventato” il look di Depeche Mode e U2 e ha ritratto con le sue fotografie musicisti come Tom Waits, Joy Division, Nick Cave, per citarne solo alcuni. Dalla fotografia ai videoclip il passo è breve. I suoi videoclip sono innovativi e iconici, e si aggiudicano premi importanti diventando opere di culto per gli appassionati di musica e non solo. Si pensi ad Atmosphere dei Joy Division e Heart Shaped Box dei Nirvana, Walking in My Shoes dei Depeche Mode. La rassegna sarà inaugurata venerdì 4 maggio alle ore 16.00, al Cinema Massimo in Sala Tre, da un film che dirige, co-produce e finanzia. Si tratta di Control (dedicato a Ian Curtis, frontman dei Joy Division), il progetto più ambizioso del regista, che gli ha dato notorietà e prestigio. Ingresso 6.00/4.00/3.00 euro. CALENDARIO DELLE PROIEZIONI Control (Usa/Gran Bretagna 2007, 109’, Hd, col., v.o. sott.it.) La breve vita di Ian Curtis, leader dei Joy Division, morto suicida a 23 anni.

  • The Rise of the House of Rothschild
    The Rise of the House of Rothschild COUNT EGON CAESAR CORTI Translated from the German by Brian and Beatrix Lunn 1770-1830 The Pedler on Horseback Caricature of the House of Rothschild FOREWORD Historians, in interpreting the nineteenth century, have laid stress on many and various aspects of the period under study; and descriptions of isolated periods, single episodes, and individuals are scattered amongst hundreds and even thousands of books. On the other hand, certain special features of the period under consideration have been, for various reasons, entirely neglected. An example of such neglect is the ignoring by histo- rians of the role played by the Rothschild family in the history of the nineteenth century, and the object of this work is to appraise the important influence of this family on the politics of the period, not only in Europe but throughout the world. For, strangely enough, the influ- ence of the Rothschilds is barely mentioned, or at the most casually referred to, in otherwise comprehensive and painstaking historical treatises. Special literature dealing with the House of Roths- child usually falls into one of two groups, either fulsome paeans of praise commissioned by the House itself, or scurrilous pamphlets inspired by hatred—both equally unpleasant. There are, however, two works of serious value in existence, which are partially compiled from legal documents, but they are of small scope. One is by an employee of the Rothschilds, Christian Wilhelm Berg- hoeffer, and the other is the impartial work of Dr. Rich- ard Ehrenberg; but these treat only of isolated incidents in the history of the House, and throw no light on its pan-European importance.

Samen nadenken over de structuur van onze scriptie werd de laatste maanden een wekelijks recept. Vervolgens wil ik ook Sara, Monique en mijn moeder bedanken voor hun naleeswerk. Mijn broer Michiel dank ik voor het informatica-aspect van mijn scriptie. Tenslotte bedank ik Tom, mijn vrienden en familie voor hun steun en vriendschap. Een scriptie schrijf je alleen, maar de hulp en steun van vrienden en familie maken er een leuk proces van. Ik heb heel graag aan deze scriptie gewerkt, na twee jaar interesseren de vorsten en hun demografie mij nog steeds.

John Boyle O'Reilly. PREFACE We had at first intended that this should be a book without a preface, and indeed it needs none, for it speaks in no uncer- tain tones for itself; but on reconsideration we decided that it would be more seemly to give a short explanation of our aim, our motives, and our methods. As a result of innumerable inquiries which have come to us during our experience as educators, we have been forced to the conclusion that the performances of the Irish race in many fields of endeavor are entirely unknown to most people, and that even to the elect they are not nearly so well known as they deserve to be. Hence there came to us the thought of placing on record, in an accessible, comprehensive, and permanent form, an outline of the whole range of Irish achievement dur- ing the last two thousand years.
